^[1]

• Polyphenol

^[2]

Key properties

• Antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects; enhances mango's health-promoting properties.

^[1]

• Low cytotoxicity (safe for human oral epithelial cells even at high concentrations)
• Weak antimicrobial activity (bactericidal against P. gingivalis, bacteriostatic against A. actinomycetemcomitans)
• Quorum-sensing inhibitor

^[2]

• Naturally occurring in mango and utilized in fruit leathers for antioxidant benefits.

^[1]

• Inhibits biofilm formation of Porphyromonas gingivalis
• Suppresses AI-2 production and AI-2 receptor activity (quorum sensing)
• Potential application in preventing and treating periodontal diseases
